so 700 + 280 for Eibach, not sure I 'need' sway bars that badly, camber arm maybe ... I only drive mostly alone putting on ~ 250 miles a month on 30 to 55 mph roads. No track. I hope with biggest #4 pads in the rear I would minimize the camber and not kill my tires too soon. Althought the 255/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 for the rear are about $700 for both.... so a camber arm might not be a bad investment after all. Not sure I can justify the cost of good coilovers right now. Got to digest this a bit longer

Thanks for all the info

+1 If I could do it again I would go with PSS9's.

Got these Monarch EURO 63 rims






Looking for opinions and advice especially with the rim/shock spacing if that’s something I should be concerned about.

Thanks much

I Think These Are The Best Rims Out There For Any Benz (Personal Opinion) ESPECIALLY ON A SILVER CAR.... (OOOOHHH BABY!!!)

Thanks, I think they have a good balance between clean and complex. No major issues, it was more of a question on the safe distance there, and then the bolt length issues. All resolved now and I moved on to figuring out what to do with the suspension drop.
